TED Prize Nominations 2016: Transform Your Wish Into Reality

TED Prize
Nominations 2016: The nominations/applications for the TED Prize is on. Each year, the
TED Prize is awarded to a leader with a bold, innovative vision for
sparking global change. The TED Prize winner receives $1,000,000 — and support
from the TED community’s wide range of resources and expertise — to make their
dream become a reality.

The TED Prize
was born out of the TED Conference and the visions offered onstage

for how
change can happen in the world, one idea at a time. The TED Prize was first
awarded in 2005, to Robert Fischell (who wished for new cures to brain
disorders), Edward Burtynsky (who wished for a global conversation about
sustainability), and Bono (who wished for a social movement of activism for
Africa). Since then, the TED Prize has been awarded to a diverse list of
innovative leaders, ranging from Dave Eggers to E.O. Wilson to Sylvia Earle.

Eligibility

The contest is open
for nominations from every person from around the world.

When nominating an
individual, the nominator is welcome to approach the nominee about drafting a
potential wish. If a nominee is strong, and no wish is included, the TED Prize
team will reach out to them directly during the short-listing process.

Prize

TED Prize winners
receive $1 million — to inspire them to think big. The award offers
support to build a project’s core infrastructure so that people across the
globe can add their own collaborative action to the mission.

Application

You can apply for
the competition by registering here, latest
by 31 March, 2015. Finalists will be identified and further communicated
during July 2015. Until the end of the year, winners will be determined and
their wish strategies will be commenced.
